BN-PN serah kerusi kepada MCA kerana faktor boleh menang

The Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) in Melaka have decided to surrender two additional parliamentary seats to the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) in order to maximize their chances of winning. This decision, made by BN's Pengerusi Melaka, Ab Rauf Yusoh, is based on a combination of factors including the potential for victory in those constituencies and the overall interest and harmony between both parties.

The move will see MCA contesting four parliamentary seats, bringing their total number of contested seats to 23. Both parties agreed that handing over the seats to MCA, who they believe have a higher chance of victory in those areas, is the best course of action. This decision was supported by the desire for harmony and consensus, and is a reflection of the long-standing harmony between BN and the government that spans over seven decades.

The final decision was made at a joint meeting in Masjid Tanah, with the elections scheduled for November 14, with the nomination of candidates to take place on October 31, followed by the first count on November 10.
